In keeping with the mission of Crabtree Farms, the Urban Farm adheres to sustainable farming methods. The Farm is cultivated with a strong focus on maintaining a balanced ecosystem through biodiversity and soil fertility. Our crops are naturally fertilized and cared for by hand.
We grow specialty cut flower and heirloom vegetable varieties that perform well in the Tennessee Valley. Many varieties grown at the Farm can not be found locally on a commercial scale. Careful treatment ensures a long-lasting, high quality fresh product.
Through research, demonstration and record keeping, the Urban Farm is a model of sustainable farming in the Tennessee Valley. All produce and flowers grown at the Urban Farm are sold directly to the public, or sold wholesale to committed partners throughout the Chattanooga area.
